Things have been “COLORFUL” over here…


Hello my name is DaNell and I am a party planning addict. Oh, I got that off my chest that feels good :) I know its just a 4 year old party and that most of the hours of work put into it wont even be recognized however, what is a person supposed to do when the internet can bring to you worlds of creative ideas, right at your fingertips, mind you Hobby Lobby is mere miles from home. I really don’t think you can blame me, RIGHT???

Brinley my little baby is now 4 years old (wow) and she decided that a candy birthday party would be “GWATE” or great how every you choose to say it. Brinley had been looking forward to this since the day after Christmas, when I started to compile ideas. That is one of the longest processes for me just choosing a theme and then sticking with it. There are just so many creative people in this world, and like I previously wrote, with the Internet launching them threw to me I just cant keep up (plus the cost of thing does need to be accounted for.)

The night before Brinley dressed into her “on theme” pajamas (thanks Aunt Jennie), while mommy and daddy did some last minute setting up. Birthday morning was full of anticipation as Brinley waited for the clock to hit 11 O’clock (party time.) Mom and Morgan came about an hour early to finish the cupcakes with me. Can I just brag for a minute?? Well, I guess its my blog so I am going to- my mom is so wonderfully talented and made each of the girls an apron and a necklace that looked like wrapped candies along with decorating the BIG cupcake cake. Thanks thanks thanks, and it is a bonus that my kids are the first and only (so far) for her otherwise who know if she could do some much for each one. My handy dad MADE yes MADE from a few pieces of wood MADE the adorable ice cream cart. The kids absolutely LOVED the cart, huge hit. Thanks dad!!! Now where to store it :)

I had so much fun buying all the colorful candies, finding great deals on all the ice cream and cupcake décor and trinkets. I also made each girl a hair bow and the little men tee shirts with their names on them. It allowed me so much time to get into the creative zone.
Thanks Brinley’s amazing friends for enjoying the day with us you all make it so much fun!!!!
